Cashwagon Deepens Partnership with Europe’s Biggest Marketplace Mintos on the Back of Strong Growth

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 24 September 2019 – Cashwagon, the rapidly
scaling fintech company for South-East Asia’s underbanked, ramps up growth by
partnering with Mintos, global marketplace for investment in loans and current
leader in Europe, to connect South-East Asian borrowers with lenders from
Europe. Cashwagon is the first APAC, ASEAN, South-East Asia-based platform
onboard Mintos.

 

Earlier
this year Cashwagon offered investors on Mintos marketplace to invest in loans
originated by Cashwagon’s lending partners in Vietnam.  By the
end of 2019, Cashwagon will be poised to start offering loans
originated by Cashwagon’s lending partners from Sri Lankan market via Mintos. To
this date, nearly 44 000 Mintos investors have invested more than EUR 57
million in loans originated by Cashwagon’s lending partners and the company
plans to double their loans supply on Mintos marketplace by the end of 2019.

Maxim Chernushchenko said, “As the first
South-East Asia-based platform on Mintos marketplace, we’re offering European
retail investors to invest in loans originated in Indonesia, the Philippines,
and Vietnam, which represents the first cross-border micro-financing between
Europe and Asia. By our partnership with Mintos, we will continue to transform fintech
industry in Asia and strive for progressive innovation in our offerings to further
strengthen our position as a fintech powerhouse in the region.”

 

To date, Cashwagon has reached a cumulative global loan processing
milestone of 3,200,000 loans totalling US$280 million, which were disbursed by its local partners, while
simultaneously offering a welcome alternative to traditional financial institutions,
80% of people in South-East Asia are underserved by these institutions. The Cashwagon
platform has more than 5 million registered users and the company recorded
a 150% increase in loan request volume from 2018 to 2019. With the continuing goal of serving
the region’s underbanked, Cashwagon is expecting to see the loan amount grow to
US$360 million by the end of 2019 and intends to expand its footprint into two more markets in
the South-East Asia region in 2020.  

 

This growth is a result of the company’s technology
expertise and the support it has garnered from investors to bring its vision to
fruition. In 2018, Cashwagon had raised multi-million-dollar equity funding in
Series A round from global investors.
